L'un des répondants à décrit l'application de la biolixiviation dans l'exploitation minière et donné des précisions sur certains des coûts et certaines des précautions d'intérêt environnemental. [...] Pour les minerais aurifères réfractaires à faible teneur en or, le procédé fait intervenir la décomposition bactérienne de l'arsénopyrite, ce qui expose l'or, puis l'extraction par cyanuration. À cet égard, un problème environnemental d'envergure se pose, car il faut neutraliser l'acidité du tas de minerai pour empêcher la production de cyanure gazeux, ce qu'on obtient en élevant le pH du minerai (à environ 10) avant de le cyanurer. 3, record 8, French, - cyanure%20gazeux
